The Transformational WordThe Beatitudes have been interpreted in countless ways. Perhaps the most common is to see them as “steps to happiness.” In this year’s Connect at Harpeth Hills, we want to see them as the description of a seasoned, mature, and blessed kingdom personality. Christ’s disciples come to this stage of maturity by rooting ourselves deeply in the narrative of Scripture and being transformed by the Spirit.June 19The Transformed LifeMike Glenn, Brentwood Baptist Church, Brentwood, TN

Help Wanted Sermon SeriesJason Pagel, preachingEaster SundayLife is not a DIY project. You can’t do it alone. You don’t have to. You weren’t meant to. He has done what we could not do. We try to do it on our own because we are afraid that we can’t afford the help. And we are right. Help like this is more that we could ever afford. But it’s all about who you know. Turns out the work that we could not afford he decided to do for free, because he loves us. And NOTHING can get in the way of that.Anchor Text: Romans 8:31-39
Help Wanted Sermon SeriesJason Pagel, preachingPalm SundayWatching a YouTube video can only get you so far when you are working on a project. Far better is doing it with someone who has done it before and who is willing and wanting to help us do it well. How did Jesus get on the back of that donkey knowing what was waiting for him in Jerusalem? What gave him the confidence to face the challenge? Where did he find the resolve?Anchor Text: Romans 8:28-30

Stan Smith, preachingIt’s difficult to talk over the sound of the circular saw. It’s tough to communicate when you are banging a hammer. Sometimes the work needs to stop so that we can get on the same page again. We need someone to remind us again of the larger picture, the end goal, the reason we are doing all of this. When it comes to the work we are doing together communication is key…even when we don’t really know what question to even ask.Anchor Text: Romans 8:26-17

Help Wanted Sermon SeriesJason Pagel, preachingThe project almost always takes longer than you expected. What seemed like a weekend warrior kind of thing has now drug on into month three. You’re weary of the work. You’re tired of the dust, the clutter, the mess. You wonder if this will ever be completed. So you pull out the drawings again. You look back over the blueprint. You close your eyes and imagine the finished project and you’re resolve is renewed. It hasn’t been easy but it’s going to be worth it.Anchor Text: Romans 8:18-25
Help Wanted Sermon SeriesJason Pagel, preachingThe best kind of projects are those that happen when everyone pitches in. There is a confidence that comes when dad helps. There is a joy that comes when we are working together. Somehow the work doesn’t seem as difficult. The day doesn’t seem as long. And even when things get really difficult, sharing the burden not only lightens the load, it connects the family. There is a sense that we are in this together regardless of what is required.Anchor Text: Romans 8:12-17

Help Wanted Sermon SeriesJason Pagel, preachingSometimes a double-coat of paint isn’t enough, a quick-fix won’t help. You can do your best at coverup but if there is a deeper issue it will eventually become obvious. You can’t ignore the leak under the kitchen sink forever, even if you have a bowl under it. Replacing a piece of siding overtop of a rotting structure virtually guarantees that a collapse is coming. If you really want to fix the problem rather than just trying new ways to hide it, you’ve got to take it down to the studs. That’s not something we can do on our own.Anchor Text: Romans 8:5-11

Unstoppable SeriesAdam Brewer, preaching (Southwest Church - Jonesboro, AR)Acts 17:16-34 Paul was waiting for them in Athens. You might say he was “killing time” until his companions showed up. This stop was not on the docket. This place was not on the agenda. It has been said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” It seems sometimes the purpose of God is like that. Perhaps more often than we even perceive. While Paul was touring the city, he noticed an altar. Then suddenly the waiting gave way to witness as Paul addressed the Areopagus with incredible wisdom. Sometimes the “appointed times in history” are unscheduled.
